I found this on the F1 site, Charlie Whiting view
On the aim of the new radio guidelines…
“What we’re trying to do is to make sure the driver is driving the car on his own, that he’s not being told how to drive the car. Simple as that, really.”
On the possible penalties for breaching the guidelines…
“I think it would depend on the level of the breach. If it was a simple one, I think we would let them get away with a warning - at this stage, at least. If it were slightly more serious the stewards might consider a reprimand, but if they were to do something which really helped the driver do something he should be doing himself then I suspect a time penalty might be more appropriate.”
On how it can be decided if a team has used an (illegal) coded message…
“It can’t. Not clearly. I can’t tell you now how a coded message is going to... It depends entirely on what the message is and what the explanation is for that message. By putting down exactly what you can say, if you go outside of that it’s fairly obvious. I’ve had some very strange questions about ‘the birds are flying high in the sky today’ and stuff like that. I’d just say it’s not on the list. Seriously, I think that even by using some of these things on the list there is probably a way of getting a message across which we weren't intending them to, but we’ll have to deal with that on a case-by-case basis.”
LOL
